i do not notice any rubbing , even with 3-4 ppl in the car..but those rims were on when i bought the car so i have no comparisons. I do find the turning circle isnt as good as my sisters previous model yaris sedan which is on stock wheels.

If where you live has bad roads the ride is rough..actually looking to change to 15's cause the roads in Barbados are not at all low profile friendly..

I'm pretty new to this but I have some questions. I have a 2010 yaris sedan and I would like to put some xxr rims on it, 17x8 in front and 17x9 in the back. What wheel spec is good? I would also like to slam it as much as possible without having to roll the fenders, what suspension is recommended?

go with 15" wheels and tires is you want to drop it. 17" wheels cause rubbing on lowered Yari.

If you don't want to roll fenders, don't go with 8" and 9" widths. Also, for those widths, you're going to want to get a little stretch in your tires to get some forgiveness on your fenders. Definitely don't go with 17's - the tire size choices just aren't there to do that.

16's are about the same way to be honest, although a 195/45/16 or 195/50/16 would stretch nice. With 15's you'd have plenty of choices, wheel-wise and tire-wise.

Now if you're willing to roll your fenders, and add a little camber, disregard anything I said above. You can run about anything as long as you're willing to accomodate the size.

Thanks for the info! I think I'm going to go ahead nd roll my fenders, I think haha. If not ill just get 16's because that means I can lower it more :)

MSR "013" in gunmetal finish 17x7.5+38 on 205/40/17

Passenger rear rubbed a good amount on the way home(about 5 miles) otherwise seems good. I'll be adjusting the coils this evening.

I always loved the SPARCO Assetto Gara, there was a picture some time ago in black and they look amazing but why 195/40/17 instead of 205/40/17

I lowered it with springs right now and I wasn't sure on how far it would settle, I have dropped other vehicles and gotten a much larger drop than advertised.

I also plan on putting on coilovers soon and taking her lower. Rubbing is a concern of mine. My wife loves the turning radius and doesn't want to compromise that aspect. Its her car, but its my toy.

I had a set of 205/40/17 I really didn't like them cause the ride was hard and you fill every bump in the road. I recently got new tires I went with 205/45/17, so much better!
The ride is so much smooter and you don't feel the road the bumps anymore. I do rub just a liitle bit if I'm going to fast on dips, over all I like my new size of tires.

I love those wheels, but I didn't get them because of the weight. 19 kg is over 40 lbs each. Totally insane. To put it in perspective, my wheels and tires combined weigh a little less than 25 lbs for each corner.

Well, I just tought OZ focused on strength instead of light weigth. Coz these wheels are rally version.

I've weigthed other brand that heavier than OZ.

This combo is by far my favourite that I've seen so far. Very clean well fitting look.

Do find any rubbing with that tire size? How many inches drop?
